The first annual Al Genovy Ambassador Award was presented before the game on Friday night.

Genovy was the first-ever signed player and captain of the Kalamazoo Wings during their inaugural season back in 1974-75.

Genovy passed away from cancer last year.

The award was presented to Ted and Martha Parfet, who owned the K-Wings from 1974-2000 and then 2002-2006.

The team has been owned by William D. Johnston since then.

Mr. Parfet passed away in the fall of 2006, shortly after the K-Wings won their last championship.

A video tribute to the Parfets included former players and coaches including Ken Hitchcock and Mark Reeds as well as current coach Nick Bootland.

Mrs. Parfet thanked the crowd and told them that nothing meant more to her husband than the fans.
